Open ImpetusQuickstep

Title: Open ImpetusLevel: (-) (ISTD); Silver (IDTA)Timing: (SSS) or (SQQ)Rotation: Up to 3/8 to Right

NotesThe Open Impetus is taken from the Waltz Syllabus and adapted for use in the Quickstep, where it is featured as a Silver figure in the IDTA syllabus. As there is no Promenade Position in the current ISTD syllabus, the Open Impetus and its exit figures are only available to non-syllabus competitors. It should be noted, however, that up until the 8th Edition [1976], the Quickstep Open Impetus was part of Alex Moore's Revised Technique. It is one of ten figures to have been removed from the ISTD Quickstep syllabus.
